NFL notebook: 'Pacman' Jones retires

Cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones announced his retirement from the NFL after 12 seasons.

"I stand tall and proud as I announce that this beautiful life-changing ride that I have been on in the National Football League has come to an end, I'm officially hanging my cleats up, with no regrets!" Jones wrote in a statement released Friday by his agent, Peter Schaffer.

Jones, 35, has a history of arrests and was plagued by legal issues throughout his career. The NFL suspended him for the 2007 season following a shooting at a Las Vegas strip club that left a man paralyzed. A member of Jones' entourage was identified as the shooter.

--Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette is happy to have a "clean start."

Fournette was a major disappointment in 2018 for a team that greatly underachieved with a 5-11 mark one season after reaching the AFC Championship Game. But he has had time to decipher his poor campaign and feels he is back on track.

"I'm happy, especially the way I'm here working with my team right now," Fournette told reporters Friday after Jacksonville's third organized team activity. He rushed for just 439 yards and five touchdowns in eight games last season after having 1,040 yards and nine scores in 13 games as a rookie in 2017.

--Kevin Dyson may have come up a yard short in one of the greatest finishes in Super Bowl history, but he never let up on his pursuit of education -- his own and that of others.

Nearly 20 years after nearly climbing to the top of the football world, Dyson is sitting atop the academic world at a middle school in Tennessee. As the principal.

Interim Williamson County superintendent Jason Golden on Friday announced that Dyson, 43, is the new permanent principal at Grassland Middle School in Franklin.
